9. Audrey Hepburn
Oh, Audrey. A quirky, enchanting, soft-spoken ingénue, Hepburn got her big break in
The Roman Holiday. After that, she became rather typecast as a Manic Pixie Dream Girl (aka Zooey Deschanel before Zooey Deschanel was born), however she managed to break the mould in one of her later films, the creepier-than-finding-a-strangers-toothbrush-in-your-bathroom thriller
Wait Until Dark. Although she won a Tony, an Emmy, a Grammy and an Oscar in her lifetime, in her most famous role as Eliza Doolittle her singing was in fact dubbed over, a decision made by head honcho Jack Warner, who considered Hepburns voice too deep for the role (I know, I know, WTF). But Hepburn, ever the mensch, simply shrugged, wrinkled her button nose, and carried on. Before she was even cast, she insisted that they replace her with Julie Andrews, who originated the role of Eliza on Broadway. How many other actresses would have done that? Heck, how many people? A fashion icon who made the Little Black Dress famous and put Givenchy on the map, Hepburn was also a devoted humanitarian, sympathising with the plight of children in war torn countries, after she herself survived the Nazi occupation of the Netherlands when she was a wee bambino. In short, Audrey Hepburn was made out of powdered sugar and ground up unicorn guts. We mere mortals are stink-golems in comparison.
